That's hilarious RL!! I too was going to be conveniently "sick" for a day next week.

That being said, I opted to have my HE copy shipped to me, so I am not exactly sure when I will receive it. If I get it on Tuesday, then I'm calling out sick on Wednesday. If I get it on Wednesday, then I'm calling out for the rest of the week.

I hope to have my copy Tuesday, though I asked GS if I could switch my order and pickup in store and they said I could, but there is less of a chance they'd have my HE copy in store to pickup Tuesday, so I just stuck with same day delivery. Expensive but (hopefully) worth it.

Nice!!! I am emailing back and forthwith with them know to find out logistically how they ship. If they send it out 1 day ahead in hopes of arrival on the day of release, or do they send it on the day of release?

I just hope I get mine on release day!!!! I can't do the midnight store release because I work nights, so this was (or so I thought) the best option for me.

1. Convince my wife that I am not a "dork" or "nerd" for going to pick the game up at midnight.

2. Fail miserably at above.

3. Talk to other like minded "dorks" while I freeze my sack standing outside waiting for them to let us in to get our copys. (Im in Colorado,)

4. Get home at probably around 2 (which nearly defeats the "freezing my sack waiting in line" part since I have to work and should go to bed.

5 load the game and thank sstang over and over and over as I DL whatever multiplayer parts they let us install.

6. Tell myself that a bunch of the forum guys are geniouses and doing combat training is the way to go so I can learn the maps.

7. Play one round of combat training, quit, jump into public multiplayer and die, die, die, kill, die die kill....'repeat'....... and as RL said.....***** and moan for hours about having no idea where I am going or being shot from.

8. Hope I get the game shut off before my wife wakes up......her seeing me with my headphones on playing a game has the same effect as a chastity belt....

That all sounds like a great plan - thanks for the shoutout - sstang1 (RobsStang's(banned) less evil twin) is really proud that we finally got this - thanks to TheBigB82, The Extractor (banned) and ESMorgue (banned) but back as ChestSplittah for helping me harrass @DavidVonderhaar into getting us this much needed option - also thanks to all those that have signed the many petitions and threads for this over the years.

The best part about it is that it is a step toward a full install. I do wish it had happened a year ago before bops savagely tortured my 60g fat into submission. RIP buddy and no that yellow light you see is not a light on the gates to PS heaven.
